REGULATIONS UNDER THE ACT OF JUNE 7, 1832.
The following regulations have been adopted:
This law has been construed to extend, as well to the line, as to every branch of the Staff of the Army, and to include under the terms "Continental Line," "State troops," "militia," and "volunteers," all persons enlisted, drafted, or who volunteered and who were bound to military service, but not those who were occasionally employed with the army upon civil contracts, such as Clerks to Commissaries and to Store Keepers, &c. Teamsters, Boatmen, &c. Persons who served on board of Private Armed Vessels are also excluded from the benefits of the law, as well as persons who turned out as patrols, or were engaged in guarding particular places at night, and were not recognized as being in actual military service.
Four general classes of cases are embraced in this law:
 1. The Regular Troops.  2. The State Troops, Militia, and Volunteers.  3. Persons employed in the Naval service.  4. Indian Spies. 
As rolls of the regular troops in the Revolutionary War exist in this Department, all persons, claiming the benefit of this law as officers, non-commissioned officers, musicians or privates, will in the first instance, make application by transmitting the following declaration, which will be made before a Court of Record of the County where such applicant resides. And every Court having by law a seal and Clerk is considered a Court of Record.

In order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress of the 7th of June, 1832.
State, Territory, or District of } ss. County of }
On this _____ day of _____ personally appeared (a) before A. B. a resident (b) of _____ in the county of _____ and State, Territory or District of _____ aged (c) _____ years, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of Congress, passed June 7th, 1832. That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year (d) _____, with _____ and served in the _____ (e) regiment of the _____ line, under the following named officers:
[Here set forth the names and rank of the Field and Company Officers; the time he left the service; (and if he served under more than one term of enlistment, he must specify the particular period, and rank and names of his officers;) the town or county and State in which he resided when he entered the service; the battles, if any, in which he was engaged, and the country through which he marched. [This form is to be varied so as to apply to the cases of officers and persons who belonged to the militia, volunteers, navy, &c.]
He hereby relinquishes every claim (f) whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any State, or (if any) only on that of the Agency in the State of _____
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
A. B.
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion (g) that the above named applicant was a revolutionary soldier, and served as he states.
I _____ of the Court of _____ do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of _____ for a pension.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this _____ day of _____ &c.
If, on examination of the proper record the names of applicants, making such declaration, cannot be found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in note (j) points out.
Every applicant who claims a pension by virtue of service in the State Troops, Volunteers or Militia, except those who belonged to the New Hampshire Militia and State Troops of Virginia, will make and subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing, with the following additions, viz:
(k) We, A. B., a Clergyman, residing in the _____ and C. D. residing in (the same) _____ hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with _____, who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be _____ years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion.
Sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B. who has signed the preceding certificate is a clergyman, resident in the _____ and that C. D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the _____ and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.
I, _____ Clerk of the Court of _____ do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of _____ for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office, this _____ day of _____ &c.
Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission; but if neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure, if possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services of the applicant, and such circumstances connected therewith, as may have a tendency to throw light upon the transaction.
If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration (l) and he will also, whether he produce such evidence or not, proceed to relate all the material facts, which can be useful in the investigation of his claim, and in the comparison of his narrative with the events of the period of his alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person

will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case. The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County, in which they reside, and there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations above provided, according to the nature of his case.
The Court will propound the following (m) interrogatories to all applicants for a pension, on account of service in the Militia, State troops, or Volunteers, except the Militia of New Hampshire and the State troops of Virginia.
 1. Where and in what year were you born?  2. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?  3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war, and where do you now live?  4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute? And if a substitute, for whom?  5. State the names of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops, where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services.  6. { To a Soldier. } Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given and what has become of it? { To an Officer. } Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what has become of it?  7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution. 
The Court will see that the answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinions of the truth of the statement of the applicant.
The applicant will further produce in Court, if the same can be done, in the opinion of the Court, without too much expense and inconvenience to him, two respectable persons—one of whom should be the nearest clergyman, if one lives in the immediate vicinity of such applicant, who can testify, from their acquaintance with him, that they believe he is of the age he represents, and that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood to have been a Revolutionary soldier, and that they concur in that opinion. If one of these persons is a Clergyman, the Court will so certify, and they will also certify, to the character and standing of other persons, giving such certificates.
The traditional evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Courts are requested to be very particular in the enquiry whether the belief is general, and whether any doubts have ever existed upon the subject.
Applicants unable to appear in Court by reason of bodily infirmity, may make the declaration before required, and submit to the examination, before a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record of the proper county, and the Judge or Justice will execute the duties, which the Court is herein requested to perform, and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.
Whenever any official act is required to be done by a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or by a Justice of the peace, the certificate of the Secretary of State or Territory, or of the proper Clerk of the Court or County, under his seal of office, will be annexed, stating that such person is a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, or a Justice of the Peace, and that the signature annexed is his genuine signature.
No payments can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before the declaration herein required is made, the parties interested will transmit such evidence as they can procure, taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the period of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.
[a] The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity; in which case the declarant will follow the rule laid down for his guidance.
[b] The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides. If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not conforming to the rule.
[c] The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned.
[d] The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served.
[e] Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had. Every claimant must state, with precision, the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the Department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service; but, according to the best of his recollection, he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades:—For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____. For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."
It is important, in all cases, to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months , is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state that they served two years in the militia, &c without specifying the tours, the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must, in every case, be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or place, where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
[f] The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.
[g] The opinion of the Court is always required.
[h] The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
[i] The Clerk must affix his seal, and if it has no device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he has no public seal of office, the certificate of a Member of Congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other papers authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate. } 16
Proof of Service.
[j] In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimant's entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
[k] The notes from [a] to [e] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule in note [j] applies to continental troops only.
[l] This traditional evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[m] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[n] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

Peter Dingman's Declaration
20186

Declaration of Peter Dingman, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.
The state of Ohio } Pickaway County } ss.
On this twenty-sixth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty two, personally appeared in open Court before Peter Hitchcock and John C. Wright Judges of the Supreme Court of the state of Ohio now sitting in and for the County of Pickaway Peter Dingman, a resident of Jackson township in the County of Pickaway, and state of Ohio, aged seventy four years and eight months, who being first duly sworn according to law, both on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States, under the following named officers, and served as herein stated:
Question by the Court,
Where and in what year were you born?
Ans. I was born in Sussex County, New Jersey, in the year 1757
Question by same,
Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?
Ans. I have no record of my age.
Question by same,
Where were you living, when called into service? where have you resided since the Revolutionary war, and where do you now live?
Ans. I lived in Sussex County, N.J. at the time I entered the service; from whence I removed to Kingston on the Susquehanna river soon after the close of the war; several years after removed to Milton in the state of New York; and from thence to Jackson township in this county where I now reside.
Question by same, How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer or were you a substitute?
Ans. I was drafted in the New Jersey Militia, four terms of one month each, and one term of six weeks; of which I have a distinct recollection. I was drafted many more times, but cannot state exactly how many. I enlisted also in the New Jersey State Troops as a volunteer for the term of nine months, and as an Indian Spy a term of six months.
Question by same,
State the names of some of the regular officers who were with the troops where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your service.
Ans. Sometime in the year 1777, the day and month I cannot recollect, I was called out in the New Jersey Militia and marched to the sea board. The Col. of the Regiment in which I served at this time was John C. Symmes; the major of the Battalion, Samuel Westbrook, and Emanuel Hoober the Captain of my Company. We were engaged in an expedition

to Staten Island, where we took about thirty Tories with one Col Barton before day light, and made good our retreat before the British who had possession of the Island could rally for their rescue. I served one month at this time. I was afterwards called out in the Militia for a month's tour to go to Kingsbridge, and undergassed at New Windsor under Gen. Wayne. On our march news came that the British had left Kingsbridge, and we were ordered to Fort Meigs, where we were marched under the command of Col. Sowards of the New Jersey Militia, to whom Gen. Wayne gave up the command after the charge of the expedition. Our Major's name was Samuel Westbrook. The officers of my company were Capt. Manuel Hoover, Lieut. Jacob Rosecrantz, served one month at this time. was afterwards called out for one month to Perth Amboy, under the command of Major John Cortright, and Capt. Henry Cortright, the names of the Lieut. and Ensign I do not recollect and served there as a guard one month. I was afterwards called to New Brunswick in the Militia, where I served a month's tour, in a company commanded by Capt. Manuel Hoover as a guard; there were engaged at this time less than a Major's command. I was called out in the Militia, when the British had possession of Philadelphia, to drive them from the city. Gen. Washington had the command. A battle ensued with the British; and the Americans thro' the treachery of an officer to retreat to Red Bank. The regiment of Militia in which I served at this time was commanded by Col. John Rosecrantz and Samuel Westbrook was Major. The company officers were Capt. Manuel Hoover and Lieut. Jacob Rosecrantz. Afterwards in the Spring of 1778, but what month and day I do not recollect I enlisted in the New Jersey State Troops in the service of the United States, as a volunteer, under Capt. Peter Westbrook, for the term of nine months. John Rosecrantz was Col. of the regiment in which I served at this time - Samuel Westbrook was Major, Peter Westbrook the Capt. of my company, and Jacob Rosecrantz Lieut. I was engaged in no regular battle during this enlistment, but was employed on the frontiers of New Jersey as a guard and had several skirmishes with the Indians. was employed in scouting along the Delaware river along the Pennsylvania line. I afterwards, in the year 1781 served a term of six months, as a ranger or Indian Spy, under Capt. Manuel Hoover. being one of 25 employed by New Jersey as a select company to range along the Delaware river on the frontiers of the state, to trail and watch the British and Indians, and give notice of their approach. This company of rangers was subject to the command of John Rosecrantz as Colonel, and Samuel Westbrook as Major, and I think there was no Lieut. or ensign belonging to this company.
Question by some
Did you ever receive a discharge from the service and if so, by whom was it given, and what has become of it?
Ans. I received no written discharge from my service in the Militia. I received a discharge from my nine months enlistment signed by Capt. Peter Westbrook, at Menniesink, in the County of Luzerne, which discharge is now lost, and I have no documentary evidence of said service. I received a written discharge from my service as a spy, and I believe was given to me by Gen. Wayne.

Question by same, State the names of persons to whom you are acquainted in your present neighborhood, and who can testify to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution. Also, I am acquainted with William Foreman and Thomas Croll who have been for the last 18 or 20 years. I am acquainted with no other persons, who lives near me.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and, declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of your state.
